I didn't even know they were making a bid for it, but Iran has lost to Japan for the Asian non-permanent U.N. Security Council seat. They needed two-thirds of those voting in order to get a seat, but only got 32 votes. I'm not sure how many votes two-thirds is, but Austria got their seat with 133 votes. Thankfully we won't have Iran trying to dictate where U.N forces go or don't go.
